Newest release May 23, 2025: The Failer.  

​

A melancholic and passionate song about the desire for certainty, AV & The Inner City's “The Failer” is an anthemic and thought-provoking reflection of institutional and personal trust, and the oversimplification of absolutes in a complex world. Exploring the confusion and frustration of stepping back from black-and-white belief systems, "The Failer" suggests the importance of nuance in a society that often cherishes the tunnel vision of ready-made answers, and the danger in glorifying heroes and heroines, while at the same time fully acknowledging the very human need for safety and reliable leadership.
